Daughter of actress Neena Gupta and former West Indies player Vivian Richards, Masaba Gupta had been married to producer Madhu Mantena for three years but the couple decided to get separated last year. Releasing their joint official statement through a post on social media platform of Masaba, they said,"With a lot of sadness, Madhu and I have today decided to go on a trial separation in our marriage. Both of us have taken this decision in consultation with professionals and our parents."

"The only thing we are ready to say for now is that 'What we both want of life individually and separately is putting unnecessary pressure on the marriage and love that we share. Hence, we would like to take some time off from our marriage to figure out for ourselves what we want out of this life," her post read.

The joint statement from the couple went on to read, "We are not strong enough to explain ourselves to even friends who deserve an answer from us.... All we can say to them is to give us time and to give us love when we reach out to you. We now need a lot of it :)"

However, according to a source, the famous designer refrained from exercising her right to Alimony post her divorce proceedings. "In an amicable dissolution of their marriage, both Madhu and Masaba presented a dignified appeal in court. Masaba refrained from exerting her rights for alimony provision.", said a source present in the court proceedings.

Why would an independent woman be entitled to alimony for a short lived marriage? There are no children involved. She did not have a long standing impact on him making his money nor vice versa. They want a few lines in print to stay in the news. Watch how her brand will see a resurgence and capitalize on the 'independent, free-spirited woman image.'
